Enemy Page Guidelines

These are the enemy page guidelines for sharing your own or some else's Custom Enemies.

Setting It Up Edit

You can just insert an infobox from the top bar and choose Infobox enemy.

If you're using the old editor, type this at the top of the page:

{{Infobox enemy
|name                   = The name of your enemy
|image                  = Your enemy's sprite
|download               = Where do you download the enemy
|author                 = Who made the enemy?
|quadcount              = The amount of frames the enemy use
|movement               = The way the enemy moves
|stomp                  = If the enemy turns into a shell or transforms, say it here
|touche                 = What the enemy does if you touch it
|stompable              = Does the enemy die if you jump on its head?
|kills                  = On what sides does the enemy hurt you?
|width/height           = What are the dimensions of the enemy.
|category               = Enemies derive their collision from what's called a |category
|spritesets             = Is the image split into four different rows?
|turns around on cliffs = Does the enemy turn around when it reaches a ledge?
|resistsfire            = Are fireballs harmless to this enemy?
|bounces                = Does the enemy jump up and down?
|spawn                  = What enemies does the enemy spawn or throw?
|sound                  = What sound is played when the enemy spawns?
}}

If you're uploading a pack of enemies, make a category for them with the name of your pack. That way, people can easily find your other enemies. If you're uploading them from a mappack, use the mappack's name instead.

Name Edit

The name of your enemy. It defaults to the page name, but has gross underscores.

Image Edit

Your enemy's sprite. Scale it up by 3 before uploading and, if possible, make it an animated .gif.

Download Edit

Where do you download the enemy. If it's part of a category, just link to that; otherwise link to the forum post where it was uploaded.

Author Edit

Who made the enemy? It can be ignored if it's part of a wiki category.

Enemy Properties Edit

Make sure to check these over in the enemy's .json file.

Always say "True" instead of "Yes" and "False" instead of "No". That way it matches what's written in the .json.

Quadcount Edit

The amount of frames the enemy uses.

Movement Edit

The way the enemy moves.

Stomp Edit

If the enemy is killed when jumped on. If the enemy turns into a shell or transforms, say it here.

Touch Edit

What the enemy does if you touch it. Pretty much only for Powerups. If it kills, just leave it blank.

Stompable Edit

Does the enemy die if you jump on its head?

Kills Edit

On what sides does the enemy hurt you? Say "True" if all sides hurt.

Width/Height Edit

What are the dimensions of the enemy. If it's the same on both sides, you only need one number.

Category Edit

Enemies derive their collision from what's called a category, just put down the number in the .json. It has nothing to do with wiki categories.

Spritesets Edit

Is the image split into four different rows? If so, say "True". If it is, but the sprites are the same anyway, say "True, but identical".

Turns Around On Cliffs Edit

Does the enemy turn around when it reaches a ledge?

Resistsfire Edit

Are fireballs harmless to this enemy?

Bounces Edit

Does the enemy jump up and down? If it only bounces after falling, it probably uses "Reflects" instead.

Spawn Edit

What enemies does the enemy spawn or throw? Leave blank if none.

Sound Edit

What sound is played when the enemy spawns? Leave blank if none.

Example Edit

Here is where you would give a little background information on your enemy. Maybe talk about its eating habits or skeletal structure.

In-Game Edit

Here's where you describe how it acts in game. Make sure to mention if it resists fire or isn't stompable. Definitely say if it spawns enemies.

How to Use Edit

Place all the enemies in the enemies folder in your mappack and select if from the enemies tab in the editor.

Strategies Edit

• Many of the strategies for Goombas (if truffleshuffle), Koopas (if shellanimal), and whatever other Vanilla Enemy with the Same Movement will work with example as well.
• How difficult is your enemy to defeat and how frequently should you use it?
• What interesting things can you do with your enemy in particular?
